Portfolio Performance
The Private Land and Property Fund (PLPF) continues to perform as
expected, returning 6.1% for the three months to 30 June 2021 and
12.1% for the last year (after fees and before tax). PLPF invests through
the wholesale Booster Private Land and Property Portfolio (PLPP)
1
.
The Fund is currently generating annual cash based pre-tax earnings of
3.23% from its lease income and grape supply contracts.
Over the quarter PLPF also benefited from a valuation uplift in one of the
portfolio assets (the Kerikeri kiwifruit orchard).
As at the end of June, PLPP has property related assets of over $94m,
which after debt has a net asset value of over $75.5m
Property revaluation review
In the March quarterly report, we included a net valuation adjustment in
the unit price to reflect the positive valuation for the Kerikeri kiwifruit
orchard. The level of market activity during the June quarter has
provided significant market information for both vineyards and kiwifruit
and associated licences. Subsequent to the reporting date of 31 March
2021 and consistent with the property valuation policy for the PLPF, the
Manager commissioned and received a report on 1 May 2021 for the
Kerikeri orchard.
As a consequence, PLPF recognised a further uplift beyond that taken at
31 March by another $1.3m (reflecting an increase of 7.46% in the unit
price).

Waimea West Hops - Nelson
Waimea West Hops is a well-established hops garden located 15km
south west of Nelson close to the settlement of Brightwater. PLPP made
a cash investment Q1/2021 of $7 million for a 50% shareholding in 28.5
canopy hectares of mature hops and associated processing facilities. The
garden is planted with a wide range of aroma hops, the key varieties
being the in-demand Nelson Sauvin and Motueka.
Our investment will enable development of approximately 83 canopy
hectares of hops across two additional sites, approximately 34 canopy
hectares already contracted (settlement on 30 June 2021) and the
balance on sites to be confirmed (first right of refusal in place on one).
The development is expected to take until 2023 with all plantings fully
mature by 2026.
Waimea West Hops is part of a grower co-operative (New Zealand Hops
Limited) which markets, distributes and sells hops on behalf of growers.
New Zealand Hops enters in separate contracts (typically 2 year rolling
contracts) with end customers in New Zealand and internationally.
